Much information is from Brad Orahood, great-great-grandson of John Wesley Orahood.

Notes:
Even though census records for John Wesley Orahood indicate that he was born in NY, later census records for some of his children indicate that the father was born in OH.

He may have been a son of Thomas Orahood Jr. and Catie Bowers. They were married 12 October 1820 in Ross Co., OH. Thomas and Catie were reportedly the parents of three children. The family was traveling west when Catie died in 1831 in Tippecanoe Co., IN. Thomas reportedly took the children back to OH. Nothing is known for sure of these children but another son was possibly Andrew Jackson Orahood. Thomas married Elizabeth Ann Fisk in 1844 in Louisa Co., IA. (From Dale Arahood, great-grandson of Andrew Jackson Orahood).
